NON-STRETCH LINING FOR GARMENTS.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented May 23, 11916.

Application filed July 8, 1914. Serial No. 849,713.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ALFRED PEsoLA, a subject of the Emperor of Russia,residing at 909 Pardee street, Berkeley, in the county of Alameda andState of California, have invented certain new and useful Improvementsin Non-Stretch Linings for Garments, of which the following is aspecification.

This invention relates to improvements in garments and more particularlyto means in connection therewith to prevent bagging at those portionssubject to stretching! The principal object of my invention is toprovide a simple concealed device, which is part of the garment andwhich prevents stretching of the material in a diagonal direction andtherefore what is generally termed bagging.

Another object of my invention is to provide a device of this characterwhich will offer no inconvenience to the wearer, which is simple inconstruction, inexpensive in application and effective in operation, andwhile I have shown the same attached to the knee of trousers it will beunderstood that it may also be applied to sleeves, the skirts of ladiesgarments and any other garment which is subject to stretching.

With these and other objects in view my invention consists in the novelconstruction as herein set forth and as more specifically pointed out inthe appended claim.

Reference should be had to the accompanying drawing forming a part ofthis specification wherein,

Figure 1 is a view in elevation of a pair of trousers with a portionbroken away to disclose the device of my invention and the interiorthereof. Fig. 2 is an enlarged view in rear elevation of a portion ofthe device used to prevent stretching. Fig. 3 is an enlarged view incross section on the line 3-3, Fig. 1.

Referring to corresponding parts by the same numerals of reference, 1denotes a pair of trousers composed of and the rear piece 2'. v

3 denotes a piece of fabric which is so woven as to have comparativelylittle stretch, this member being cut approximately the same shape asthe front piece 2 and is further reinforced against stretching by meansof a plurality of diagonal strips 4, 5 and 6. These strips are formed offabric, which has almost no tendency to stretch in longitudinaldirection. The strips 4 and 5 are attached to 3 so as to extenddiagonally from opposite corners while the strips 6 are attached inaradial direction from the intersection of 4: and 5, thus the piece 3 isthoroughly reinforced and held against stretching in any direction. Insewing together the trousers the pieces 3 are attached in the side seamsof the same as shown in Fig. 3. The principal cause of the bulging atthe knees is due to the fact that the fabric exposed to the front partof the leg is caused to stretch in diagonal direction or at an angle tothe threads of the weave, which with this device is entirely prevented.

It will, of course, be understood that while I have shown the preferredembodiment of my invention minor details and arrangement of the diagonalstrips may be made without departing from the scope of the claim.

What I claim as new and wish to cover by Letters Patent is 2- Thecombination with a garment having side seams, a lining in said garmentheld in said side seams, a plurality of radial disposed reinforcingstrips attached to said lining and converging at the point wherepressure takes place against said garment.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
